Abstract

The Sn^IV atom in the title diorganotin compound, [Sn(C₇H₆F)₂Cl₂(C₂H₆OS)₂], is located on a centre of inversion, resulting in the C₂Cl₂O₂ donor set having an all-trans disposition of like atoms. The coordination geometry approximates an octa-hedron. The crystal features C-H⋯F, C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions, giving rise to a three-dimensional network. The respective influences of the Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl and F⋯H/H⋯F contacts to the mol-ecular packing are clearly evident from the analysis of the Hirshfeld surface.

Keywords: C—H⋯F interactions; Hirshfeld surface analysis; crystal structure; organotin.
